These reports also said that the 1,350-ton destroyer Chang Chih flagship of the nationalist warships blockading the east coast of China south of Shanghai, had been surrendered to the communists by a mutinous crew. At the same time the nationalist central news agency reported full-scale fighting around Amoy, port city and stepping-stone -to the island of Formosa in Fukien province. The report indicated the city was surrounded. Gen. Tung ' Chi-Wu, warlord governor of Suiyuan, and 38 other leaders were reported to have sent a message to Mao Tse-Tung and other communist leaders pledging the province's loyalty to the communists. The loss was considered a serious blow to the sagging nationalist prestige. Some observers felt it might lead to similar defections elsewhere. Moreover, it was expected to release a large number of communist troops from the area around Suiyuan for fighting elsewhere.
